The U1s that visited had the slope-sided. I'm away from my books but will look later. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been looking through my books too Chris and I can not find one but as I know you have a wealth of knowledge on ncr so thought I ask just in case you knew of one Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
darren chpamn Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 What would you say is the ratio of T9s ,WC/BBs and n classes that you would need to run a north Cornwall layout I have a ratio 1 t9 to 2wc/bb and 3 N class would you say that looks correct Daz Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium 2ManySpams Posted February 9, 2020 Author RMweb Premium Share Posted February 9, 2020 I'll have a look for you this evening. Gut reaction though is perhaps you're light on T9s. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Silly question is the first addition of the lrwell press book worth getting? Or should I get a copy of the second? Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

An excellent publication. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcD Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 I will try and find a second addition rather than getting the one on a well known auction site. Many thanks Marc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the details in 'The District Controller's View' for summer 1961, but; 1) how closely was that followed? 2) what about earlier years? & 3) what about weekdays and winter timetables? Any advice welcomed John Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
autocoach Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 If you are including Wadebridge-Padstow in BR times you would need BWT 30386 and a pair of GWR light prairies. And at least 2 T-9's. I once did the 1947 Padstow services based on a 1947 Summer Working Timetable (WTT) and I used the BWT 386, 2 N's, 2 T-9's and only one WC making it to Padstow on the daily ACE and the same loco after turning and coaling . Did the SR coal the WC's at Padstow or run them back to Wadebridge. I know they had to be turned at Padstow as the Wadebridge turntable was too short. But I never located a coaling facility at Padstow although there was a large post 1947 water tank built along with the longer turntable. My Summer 1947 Southern Railway Padstow by the Pacific layout is now defunct and I am working on my HO Port Costa, California, early 1950's layout. The prototype site is only 10 miles from my home.

As far as I can remember there were no coaling facilities at Padstow. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
